The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools district has its new leader — and it’s a familiar face.

Rodney Trice was formally selected and approved by the district’s Board of Education to be its next superintendent on Thursday night. Trice, who is in his 12th year of working with CHCCS, will be promoted from Deputy Superintendent for Teaching and Learning, Systemic Equity and Engagement, a role which he has held since 2022.

“It’s deeply meaningful to have the honor of serving my community,” he said in a release through the school system. “This community has shaped my children. It’s shaped the careers of my wife and I. So I view the superintendency as a way to continue giving back to the community I’ve proudly called home for nearly two decades.”

Trice returned to become a CHCCS administrator in 2021 to join the administration of Nyah Hamlett as superintendent, who will depart the school system to become the chief equity and development officer for Montgomery County Schools in Maryland. During his first stint with the district, Trice served as associate superintendent for student and social services and equity oversight after holding the position of executive director of curriculum, instruction and technology. 

CHCCS conducted a widespread search through a third party, with Trice being picked from a pool of 37 applicants from 14 different states and territories. The Board of Education and district said they were guided by more than 6,700 responses and comments from staff members, family members, students and community members who responded to surveys earlier in 2025 regarding their ideal superintendent’s qualities.

“Dr. Trice’s genuine and heartfelt dedication to Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools is what stood out,” said Board of Education Chair George Griffin in Thursday’s release. “Dr. Trice is invested here, and he is highly regarded both professionally and personally. That, combined with his experience, accolades, preparation and performance, made Dr. Trice the ideal choice to be the next Superintendent.”
